IMPORTANT POINTS
TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH TEXTURED ICE CREAM: Carefully follow the
ice and salt amounts indicated. As the ice melts and the ice level
decreases, add small amounts of ice to maintain the original level.
TO LOOSEN JAMMED ICE: Unplug the power cord and twist ice cream
can several times. Plug in cord to restart churning process. f jamming
continues, add 2 cups of water to BUCKET.
ICE CREAM should churn approximately 25-40 minutes or until motor
stops. f you choose to churn less than the 3/4volume of liquid recipe, the
motor may not stop. Occasionally check mixture until ice cream looks like
fluffy mashed potatoes. Unplug and remove MOTOR DR VE.
DRAIN HOLE: Check frequently to make sure salt water flows freely
through the hole. A plugged drain hole may allow salt water to seep into
the CE CREAM CAN and ruin the ice cream.
SET IN SINK or above sink drain to catch excess water.

different texture.
